“It is my privilege to endorse Adèle Poratto as UCP candidate for Red Deer South. I have known Adèle for more than 17 years and have had plenty of opportunities to work with her on different projects. I can tell you she is a hard working, organized person who is concerned about our Province and our City. I know that she will dedicate her efforts to bring the concerns and needs of the people in Red Deer to our legislature. . I got to know Adèle when she was President of our Rotary Club. Her commitment to our community was most evident with her effort to coordinate a major fundraiser for Magdalene House, Boys and Girls Club and Aspire. She has demonstrated that any project she engages in will make a difference in the lives of the people she serves.

Adèle is a person of honesty and integrity.”

– David Bouchard, Faithful Navigator, Knights of Columbus | Past President, Red Deer Rotary Sunrise

“We have known Adèle Poratto since 1996 and have always found her dedicated to any cause she champions.

Adèle is a great volunteer in the community and works tirelessly to build community through education, service groups, and church, to foster an environment which creates every good opportunity for Central Albertans.”

– Tom and Margaret Towers

“Adele is a critical thinker.  She has had to make numerous decisions about her life, as a single mom, bringing up two children on her own.  A skill that was shaped in her home, finding ways to make things possible, with restricted resources, being able to say no when there were no other options available.  That is the kind of person we desperately need in parliament.”

– Rob Barden

“Like everyone that’s worked alongside or volunteered with Adèle Poratto, I have been consistently impressed with her sound judgment, tireless work ethic, her commitment to Red Deer and Central Alberta – especially for working families, educators and champions of economy – and her refined knowledge of our wonderful province of Alberta. Adèle promises to be a highly effective MLA and tenacious advocate for the people of Red Deer South. She’s got my support and we’re asking for yours.”
